Foods that contain fats come in fatty acid packages containing various amounts of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Based on USDA composite data, a 3 oz. serving of beef has less than 2 more grams of total fatty acids* than a 3 oz. serving of skinless chicken meat. And only 1-1/2 grams more saturated fat.

Total fatty acids include saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and poly-unsaturated fat. Total fatty acids do not equal the total fat value because the fat value may include some non-fatty acid material, such as
glycerol, phospholipids, and sterols.
